    Ribs have blackened look

    Thanks for all the comments. I should clarify that I'm smoking for 3 hours but then wrapping with a liquid baste for another hour, then back on for 30 minutes. But the blackening happens by the end of 3 hours. I probably used too much charcoal and wood. I used 5 or 6 fist-sized chunks on...

    Ribs have blackened look

    Hi All, I've been smoking some Baby Back ribs in the WSM, and lately am not happy with the final look. I think I may be smoking the meat too much. I smoke them about 3 hours at 225-240. I apply a generous rub after painting with yellow mustard. They taste good, the meat is very pink and I...

    Baby Back Question

    Hi All, Cooked some ribs this morning. I had mustard and a dry rub on them. I smoked them at around 220 for 2.5 hours. Took them off, foiled with liquid, cooked another 1.5 hours, then finished them off on the grill for 30 minutes. Meat turned out fine. Very tender and tasty. However, I...

    Suggestions for Brisket - Please

    Hi All, I have four trimmed briskets (about 5 pounds each) that I need to cook tomorrow. I would like to try to get them done in about 7 hours. I've already prepped them with mustard and rub. I was going to use the minion method to light the smoker and get it up to around 200-220. I had...

    Finishing Sauce for Pulled Pork

    I've seen some of your finishing sauce recipies for pulled pork y'all...send me any that you really like if you don't mind. Why are some folks adding a large amount of veggie oil to their finishing sauces? I guess I'm curious of the benefit? Does it hold the sauce together?

    Lookin' for Ideas on Cookin' Two Butts!

    Hi All, I'm cooking two butts next weekend. I'd love to hear your suggestions. I was thinking of the following: - Lighting the WSM using Minion - Smoking heavily with mix of apple and hickory at 225-250 for around 6-7 hours - Mopping once or twice during smoking after 4 hours - After 6-7...

    Leftover Pulled Pork

    I got some great tips from some of the guys on this board. You are cooking at too high of a temp. First, be sure you are storing the meat tightly sealed in a ziplock bag or container in the fridge. To warm, wrap tightly in HD foil, and pour in a small amount of apple juice. Warm at 300 or...

    Bback Membrane

    Make sure you don't accidently remove the inner membrane versus the silverskin. The silverskin should be easily removable...don't be surprised if you get ribs from a butcher or even out of a cryovac package, if the silverskin has already been removed. The inner membrane is difficult to remove...

    Reheating Pulled Pork

    All, I'd appreciate some suggestions on the best way to reheat pulled pork, to keep the moisture content high. I was thinking of around 275 in the oven, in a covered dish with some liquid.

    Removing Silverskin from BB ribs

    This is embarrassing, but I realized that the ribs had already likely had the silverskin removed, and I was screwing with the inner membrane! I've always bought my ribs in a cryovac package at Costco, and they have always had an easily-removable silverskin. However, it must have already been...

    Cooking for 25-30

    My party is June 28th, which gives me some more practice time! I've got a couple racks on right now! I'll take the advice and do the butts ahead of time and then reheat. What is the best way to reheat to preserve moisture? I was thinking very low oven temp with some mop liquid. Thanks all!

    Cooking for 25-30

    I'm having a party for around 25-30, and will be smoking BB ribs and pork butts. I will also be roasting some chicken. So, I was thinking of 2 8 pound butts, 6 slabs of ribs, and around 50 pieces of chicken (plus all the sides of course). What do you all think? Also, what about some tips...

    Removing Silverskin from BB ribs

    Hi All, I usually have not had a problem removing silverskin from BB ribs. But today, I made a mess of things. I was unable to get the silverskin to pull off in one strip. I just could not get it going. Any 'best practices' on doing this? I did let the meat get close to room temp, maybe...

    Smoking Ribs

    Hi All, Amateur WSM user here, and I've had some good success thus far. The first time I smoked BB ribs, I did 2 full racks at around 225 degrees for 4.5 to 5 hours. They were fall of the bone tender, and my rub was pretty good. I have some questions for the experts: 1. Do you all find that...
